Description
Solutions to climate challenges in cities can partly be found by making use of Nature’s ability to absorb and control the impacts of climate change, e.g. through increased planting of the urban space, green roofs and (recreative) areas designed to handle temporary flood events. It is expected that the use of ’green infrastructure’ can be economically more efficient as well as socially and ecological just compared to a sole focus on technical ’grey’ infrastructures and solutions. Simultaneously, there is a strong competition for space in cities.
In this project, we investigated the possibilities and conflicts linked to systematically applying an ecosystem based approach to climate adaptation in the municipality of Copenhagen. For practical reasons, we chose to focus on the ecosystem service ’water regulation’ from green roofs. A number of other positive impacts of green roofs such as temperature regulation, aesthetics and protection of roof material were included to less extent.
